Comments Thread For: Marquez Explains Why He Picked Bradley over Pacquiao

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

i didn't think much of the people that called it lucky at first neither, but after watching robinsons video which shows marquez in the 6th winging the punch to literally everything pacquiao does(not even picking his spots) and managing to land it only once out of 20 or so attempts, it showed desperation, and usually when you go looking for the ko you dont get it

marquez was fortunate to heredia and his new monstrous power

Oh well ****, you should have said that earlier. If you saw it in a Barry Robinson video then I take everything back.

Yup, JMM was just closing his eyes and winging the right hand. I mean that's all you need to beat Pac right, well that and an incredible amount of steroids.

WTF do I know.....

ya that was totally marquez's game plan.

he lured pac by pretending like he was getting beat the **** up to the point where he couldn't even breath properly anymore and his corner was about to throw the towel. he knew he only needed one punch cuz he always had the power to KD pac, he did it like so many times in their previous fights.

lol exactly

I still cannot believe people cannot see marquez got lucky, he was getting beat up bad and was tired, the guy landed an amazing shot and was just throwing out of desperation in that round as well

he really was getting beat bad, no way marquez fights pac again, he knows he would get killed

If JMM stops Bradley or wins impressively = JMM>JCC Sr.

Yeah I said it!!!

Beatin up bad? after flooring and landing clean blows in previous rounds on Pacman??

Good matchup but I think Bradley wins UD. Marquez was getting beat up badly by Pac. He hung in there and chose to get hit in return for landing those hard rights on PAC. The problem is IMO PAC allowed him to land those shots because he was going for the KO for his fans. If he paced himself, I believe he would have possibly KO Marquez in the later rounds.

I think this shows Marquez's decline. While Timmy no doubt didn't look very good in his last fight, he had ring rust and did show much heart he has. He refuses to lose just like Marquez, but I don't think his skills are diminishing like Marquez.

I think Timmy beats Marquez UD then goes on to challenge Mayweather.

I think Marquez knows what he is doing. I pick him over Bradley. Bradley can box but he has absolutely no pop and if Manny can't stop Marquez after 5 knock downs in 4 fights then I don't think Bradley will. You need a hammer to stop Marquez from fighting. Bradley has youth but on the big stage after witnessing what happened with Manny I just feel like Marquez been there before and when he is focused he has proved to be deadly. I don't see Bradley beating him but anything is possible.

If Marquez cant knock Bradley out he will lose a wide decision. Bradley is gonna press Marquez and get on the inside were he can punish Marquez body. Dont expect Bradley to dive into a right hand like Pac did. Bradley also has a good jab that is gonna disrupt Marquez.

Those saying he needs to give pacquiao a rematch because Pacman give him one. The fights were close If pacman knock out JMM cold you same people wouldnt want to see a rematch. It plain the JMM is better than Pacman dont be butthurt....

[Cleto_Reyes]

i respect JMM decision. 5th fight doesnt prove anything. Jmm would stop him earlier anyways. you guys will see tha Pacman is not the same in the rios fight

This is what annoys me, I don't have Marquez winning any of the 3 fights. I watched all 3 over before the forth fight and I gave them all to PAC. In the 3rd fight, Marquez blew it. He was up and then took his foot off the gas at the end. All he had to say is this, we fought 3x, the fights were close but the forth fight, I khtfo and that's why I don't need to fight him. I like that more then him saying he practically won all four fights.

True, Pac won all 3 fights, which is backed up by the fact that Pac was overwhelming favourite to beat JMM in all rematches. Even Floyd fans were saying JMM is a cherry pick for Pac in the fourth fight, even though some supposedly think the 3rd fight is where JMM had the most success against Pac.

If anyone really thought JMM beat Pac, wouldnt some people make JMM favourite to beat Pac?

But its good JMM going for other fights, he needs to fill his resume out with other names other than Pac as JMM is coming to the end of his career now. Pac will still be waiting for JMM anytime, so JMM can pick and choose.

If you think that was a lucky punch, then stop watching boxing. It was one of the most beautiful, right hand counters I have ever witnessed in boxing.

Let's not forget he knocked down Pac earlier in the fight. JMM was on his A game and came out and did what nobody thought he could do, knock out one of the ATG's in the sport. This series is OVER, JMM won.

End of discussion.

I don't think it was a lucky punch but I also don't think he was dominating PAC. I think Marquez winning the fight was a combination of him timing those right hands beautifully, but more important, Pacs eagerness to impress his fans since his last 3 fights were snoozefests. This caused him to be willing to walk into those right hands in search of an all out action fight.

He wasn't trying to UD Marquez, he was trying to KO him. If u don't believe that, try to figure out why someone ahead on the scorecards would be so aggressive and eat right hands that were hurting him, if he wasn't going for the KO? Marquez's right hands were great, but lets be honest, PAC walked into them looking for a KO. PAC beat himself.

And I hate PAC. He is king of the catch weights. But being honest he beat himself that night.
